The first thing that strikes an American
business man in Paris is the remarkable
manner in which French hommes
d'affaires spend their business day. 1t is
the boast of the Partisan that he accom-
plishes more in n few hours in way of
desk work than his English or American
cousin does in a day. The Partisan GER
tainly believes in the early worm, for he is
at his desk promptly at 8, sometimes
earlier. The cabinet ministers frequently
grant interviews at Sin the morning. At
about midday comes the most important
event in the life of the Parisian-break-
fast. AS most merchants live some dis
lance from their offices this meal is gen
orally taken at the cercle or club.
Every Frenchman belongs to a club, and
when the mead of the house leaves for his
particular cercle his clerks follow suit
to a more humble reunion and the Office
Is left to the tender mercies of the porter
or concierge. This breakfast at the cercle
is a table d'hote affair of several courses
and occupies an hour. A stroll on the
boulevard is next in order, a visit to the
Sale des Depeches, a coGnac at the cafe
and a perusal of the morning papers.
About 3 O'Clock the clerks come in one
by one and by 4 business is in motion
again. At 8 the carriage calls for the
head of the house-it is time to drive to
the Bois. The juniors leave shortly after
wards, those who can afford it taking
cabs for the daily tour to the Cascade and
those less fortunate sit In the open air at
one of the numerous cafes on the boule-
Yards or avenue des Champs Elysees, sip
their absinthe and watch the carriages go
by. The business day Is finished.-Paris

Waste of Tissue without Repair.

Vigor begins to decline when dyspepsia
invades the stomach. The disease, pro-
longcd through neglect, entails %grievous
loss of flesh and serious waste of the
muscular tissue. To invigorate thoroughly
and speedily, a sound stomachic is re-
quired. There is none comparable to
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, since it in
stitutes, and if continued, p%erpetuates a
repair of the tissues, which have declined
10 bulk, vigor and elasticity in conse-
quence of non assimilation of the food.
No time should be lost in beginning the
reparative process, nor should there be
any delay in removing those ailments OF
the stomach and nerves, viz: constipation
and liver complaint, disorders which the
Bitters will assuredly e~xtinguish. 1t also
remedies and prevents malarial and kid
ney troubles, and is a prime auxiliary in
the recovery of strength for convalescents
from wasting disease.

LITERARY PREFERENCES.

4 very interesting addition to the dis
cussion inaugurated in Cheyenne by THE
LEADER over the ten greatest novels is
found in an article recently printed in the
Chicago Inter Ocean, in which a number
of literary men and women give their
IDEAS upon this subject.
Maurice Thompson says his t~avorite
novel is ''IvAnhoe," by Scott, or LES
Miserables," by Hugo. or "Kenilworth,"
by Scott, or Vanity Fair" by Thack-
cray, or "Numa Roumestan,' by
Alphonse Daudet, or ''Romola," by
George Eliot, or the Marble Faun,"
or the ''Blithesdale Romance by
Thackeray.
Fl. c. Bunner says he cannot say that
he likes Vanity Fair better thar 1.-The
Newcomes," or THE Newcomes'' better
than Vanity Fair" He likes to read
Lorna Doone" or Henry Esmond,"
but can't say that he cares for either of
them more than Adam Bede'' or
"Romola."
Col, John Hay SAYS he has no f%avorite
novel. He would choose his ~favorite dozen
from among the works of Scott, Thack-
cray, Turgenief, Tolstoi, Harte.
Huwells, James and Miss Woolson. In
giving the first place he would have great
difficulty in deciding among "lvanhoe,"
odd Mortality" "Esmond," Vanity
Fair, FEATHERS and Sons, " Virgin SOIL"
The CarauiIeE Woods" THE Crusade
of the Excelsior The American"
"Casamassimi," "Silas Lapham'' and
"Foregone Conclusion"
As a boy Bulwer was the favorite nov
elist of Edgar Fawcett, but in later years
he has lost his admiration for him. He
thinks Thackeray a skinner over the sur
face Of English life, aud except the early
FothcrinRay episode OF "Pendennis''
he is inclined to feel hat novel
not merely dull in detail but at
times a somewhat dresTy t~rsvesty
on contemporary manners. Dickens, to
his mind, towers above Thackeray in every
respect except style, and had the W
great essentials of a novelist-imagina-
ton and passion.
Wilkie Collins, leaving living novelists
out of the question, speaks with enthusi-
asm of Mrs. Inchbald's Simple Story"
Marryatt's Peter Simple" and Mid
shipman Easy" Reade's Hard Cash."
Dumas Monte Cristo." nalzac's "Pere
Goriot' and the series of Cooper's nov
els.
viii Carleton's ~favorite is LES Miser-
ablcs," while Prof. w. T. Harris. head of
the Concord School of Philosophy,
thinks Wilhelm Meister'' is all
the novels concentrated into one.
Thackeray is the prime iavorite
among American writers. "Pendennis'
is Brander Matthew'S f~avorite, while
Henry Watterson places The Newcomes"
above all other novels. Marion Aarland
likes Vanity Fair" James Parton recre-
ates in "Middlemarch," Bill Nye prefers
Old Curiosity Shop, while Rider Hag
CARDS two i%avorite novels are Dickens
Tale of Two Cities''and Lytton's Com
ing Race" Julian Hawthorne finds his
f%avorite in George Browns strange gypsy
r0mance "Lavengro," while out OF forty
writers, President Seelev, of Amherst, is
the only one who selects Uncle Toms
Cabin" Col Higginson's first and only
i%avorite is Scarlet Letter" while L. P.
Roe prefers Lorna Doone" to all other
works of fiction.

usually confded totle proprietor of the
hotel where Patti happens TO lodge.
Next morning another carriage has to be
hired, and the detective also, and then
with all sorts of precautions the 100000
worth of precious stones are put back.
Nicolini confesses that the most ticklish
time always is when leaving the opera
house or concert hall at night with his
wife, when he must make his way across
the sidewalk to the carriage with the box
OF diamonds. There is always an armed
man behind him, and the coachman is
also given a revolver. But these precau-
tions, he says, make life Wearisome, and
really just as many people come to hear
Patti without her diamonds as with
them.
"One great reason" added Signor
Nicolini, "Why we had the paste imita-
tions made was that any one having de-
sign upon the diamonds can never feel
certain whether he is getting the real or
the imitation, and this very doubt is an
excellent precaution against loss"
Nine. Patti says that when she gets
back to Europe she will probably leave
the more valuable stones at her jewelers.
and travel with only such few trinkets as
she may need. The care of such lot of
precious stones is too great for life to be
comfortable.

PI6OTT, THE FORGER.

Statements OF a Committee which Exam.
ined His Writing and the Parnen Letter.
LINCOLN, NEB., May 8-The following
is furnished the Associated Press by John
p. Sutton, secretary of the Irish National
League of America "John Fitzgerald,
president of the Irish National League of
America, recently submitted the London
Times fac smile of the alleged Parnell
letter, together with documents, in
possession of Patrick Eagan in
the handwriting of Richard
Pigott, formerly proprietor of the Dublin
Irishman, to committee consisting of
Governor Thayer, Treasurer Willard,
Auditor Babcock, Mayor Sawyer, Post
master Watkins and the cashier Of the City
bank. Saturday the committee reported
as follows: "We, the undersigned have,
at the request of John Fitzgerald, presi-
dent of the Irish National league of
America, carefully examined the fac smile
published in the London Times of the 18th
ult., alleged to have been written by Hon.
Charles S. Parnell, also letters signed
Richard Pigott, addressed to Mr.. Patrick
Eagan, dated June %, 1875, December 6
and %, 1880, January IA and March 8,
lOOl3 dLbO dU GHClOSuEG CJuLdlu6u
in said letter of March 9, 1881,
and we have no hesitation in
saying that the alleged fac simile and the
said letters and enclosure were written
by the same hand" The documents re-
ferred to were letters from Pigott where
in he tried to blackmaiI the league
through its treasurer under the pretense
that he had been offered 500 shiliings by
alleged agents of the Dublin Castle
to publish fictitious articles IN
relation to the league fund prepared for
the purpose of discrediting the league,
and the letter to him from these agents
which he inclosed as proof of his state
ments In his letter to the treasurer of
the league, Pigott said he was on the
verge of financial ruin, and must have
money. He would suppress the Dublin
Castle article, however, if the League
would made him temporary lean of 800
shilIings. These letters and fac smile Of
Parnell's alleged letter the committee
above named believe to be in the hand
writing of the same man.

Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
DENTON, TEX, May 8.-Dr. Leslie
Wagner of the State University st Aus
tin spoke at the court house last night in
the interest of the university. He made
an excellent address, showing up in forci-
BILE terms the relation of the public school
with the university. He said that the
state had now an endowed institution of
which every citizen should be proud, and
! one that rivaled in it's facilities any insti-
tuition in the south. The doctor held
that the success of the university is
largely dependent upon North Texas for
its support and patronage and thinks
that the people of this and all other sec
tions should lend their aid to make it one
of the finest institutions of learning On
the continent. Alter he had closed Pro-
fessor A. Hogg, of Fort Worth, made an
able speech in behalf of the Blair educa-
tiOnal bill.
The meeting of the superintendent of
North Texas was held at the city school
building yesterday. Among the promi-
nent superintendent present were: Pro
lessor Thomas T. Hughes of Gainesville,
Professor A. Hogg of Fort Worth, Profess
sor Gerard of Denison, E. F. Cornegys of
Denton, and others. A number of prom
inent teachers from this and adjoining
counties were present. An able paper
was read by DR.. Leslie Wagner of the
State University, who was present by in
vltatiOn, on the intimate relation of the
public schools with the university, etc.
Also one by Professor Thomas F. Hughes
of Gainesville, on the tenure of office OF
superintendent, all of which was ably
discussed by the meeting after the read
ing. 1t was altogether the most interest
ing meeting since the organization of the
association. 49,
